Sasha Chernyi

1880-1932 / Russia

Two Senses

Someone says: “Form? Nonsense!
When shit is poured into crystal,
Does the glass become less pure?”

Another objects: “Fool!
If the best wine is poured into a chamber pot
It won’t make people more likely to drink it.”

The dispute can’t be resolved. . . Such a pity!
Indeed, it is possible to pour shit into crystal.
